For now, I decided to make it myself. If anything to start gathering the useful resources I learned back on reddit. If anyone later on wants to take over ill happily give them the entire thing cause I dont wanna mod.

I made one, https://lemmy.world/c/crtgaming, because I missed it on reddit and was worried that enough people had the same reservation. Iโ€™m hoping that by making it, other people will post there if they hadnโ€™t otherwise been willing to start their own sub.

Iโ€™m not interested in moderating, but Iโ€™m also hoping that smaller communities like this are simple to mod.

I agree. You can always just go for it though, and atleast grab a place holder. Then advertise and hand of the topic to a better qualified team. That's what I did for a lot official gaming discords I set up, but didn't really want to continue moderating.

Yeah there's quite a few niche communities I'd like to have here that aren't around yet, but even if I created them, I don't think we're at a userbase large enough to populate them. They were kinda slow even on Reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Sorta, Got a bunch of the more niche communities I was in made, with only two exceptions. I believe in being the change I want made, but I"m hardly experienced as a moderator so it's a new adjustment. They're also existing communities so some mods usually have issues with that, though I'm always open to give mod status when relevant.

Yes! I want someone other than me to start a ZeroCovid group here.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, the local ones like New Jersey or AITAH, but more importantly AskHistorians, AskScience, badHistory, etc

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Maybe c/[email protected] would be a good stop.

The world is lacking a space simulation sub in Lemmy.

All this made me realize I only used reddit to not deal with boredom and having to just sit there alone with my thoughts.

Maybe it is time to start taking mindfulness seriously.

You are just describing all of us lurkers and occasional commenters

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm a huge sci-fi fan and love the idea of a sci-fi server with communities for books, tv shows, etc to rehouse places like r/scifi, r/TheExpanse and r/SiloSeries. But as dev as I am I don't fancy running a server and being a super mod.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

you could start the community and then sticky a post asking for mod applications/assistance
